The Bestiary of GOP, Grand Ol' Predators

The Bestiary of GOP, Grand Ol' Predators puts a New Face on Evil

What is The Bestiary of GOP, Grand Ol' Predators good for?

Sometimes a group of players may find themselves frustrated with the real world's evils and incomprehensible follies. They may feel overcome with the need to take out their frustrations on something truly nasty in a game.

No ambiguity.

No questions about motivation or objectives.

You learn about the evil.

You hunt down the evil.

You deal with the evil.

This is the reason for the creatures presented in The Bestiary of GOP, Grand Ol' Predators. The monsters herein are evil, pure and simple. They want power over others, to enforce their beliefs onto the masses, or to kill, rob, and steal from others to make themselves rich. They are just plain ol' evil predators and need to be dealt with for the betterment of civilization.

So, buckle on your armor, strap on your sword, and polish your nerves of steel. The time has come to save the land from the some of the downright, straightforward evil monsters plaguing it.

There's the Ron'Pol courtier demon, ready to take your soul and horde it away, or the gingrich newt, a monster so toxic even its own mates become sick in its presence. There's also the mitt, a race of greedy, self-interested double-dealers who will do whatever it takes to make some coin, and the santorum, the remnants of a religious zealot who has come back to serve its god beyond death (whether its deity wants it to or not.)

Although the inspiration behind The Bestiary of GOP, Grand Ol' Predatorsmust be accepted with tongue firmly planted in cheek, the results are no joke. Each creature presented herein represents a serious threat that can be employed in any legitimate game in its own right, without acknowledging the humor underlying their creation.

I’ve always been fond of the idea that material for RPGs could be drawn from existing sources. Usually this means from a given movie, book, video game, etc. But more there’s something to be said for caricature as well; where you put in an NPC or monst [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
